From 15 October to 3 November 2024, Teatros del Canal and several other performance venues across the region of Madrid will be playing host to the nineteenth edition of the Suma Flamenca festival. This year, the festival encompasses 45 shows starring big names from the world of flamenco such as Carmen Linares, Marina Heredia, Israel Fernández, María Terremoto, Vicente Amigo, Jorge Pardo and Pepe Habichuela, among others.
Suma Flamenca has become one of the most important flamenco festivals on the global stage. As well as big names from the international scene, it has presented more than 200 young flamenco guitarists, singers and dancers, with the support of some of the biggest stars in flamenco today.
As a prelude to Suma Flamenca, from 12 to 15 September Suma Flamenca Joven will be taking place in the Sala Verde auditorium of Teatros del Canal, devoted to young up-and-coming guitarists, singers and dancers all under the age of 30.
As a pre-festival activity, there is also a double event taking place at the Ateneo de Madrid, which includes the exhibitions Flamenco in the dramatic black moon and Flamenco discography through the Carlos Martín Ballester Collection, which you can visit from 1 to 29 October. Flamenco in the dramatic black moon traces the history of flamenco discography from its origins to the present day.
Teatros del Canal will be the festival’s main hub, although as usual the programme will also be spread across other venues, such as the Royal Coliseum of Carlos III (El Escorial), the Monastery of El Paular, the Paco Rabal Cultural Centre, the Pilar Miró Cultural Centre in Vallecas and the Sierra Norte - La Cabrera Centre for Humanities, among others, as well as at Cuarta Pared and Teatro de La Abadía.
